A dominant second-half performance earned the Super Falcons a 3-0 victory over Senegal, securing back-to-back wins against the Teranga Lionesses in Ikenne on Monday.
Nigeria created several chances in the opening half but failed to make them count.
Washington Spirit forward Gift Monday had the first clear opportunity of the game, but her tame effort was comfortably dealt with by the Senegal goalkeeper.
Two minutes later, Joy Omewa came close to opening the scoring after being played through by captain Rasheedat Ajibade, only to see her strike hit the upright.
The Super Falcons squandered another promising chance shortly afterwards due to a mix-up between Toni Payne and Ajibade.

Three minutes later, Oshoala got on the scoresheet, calmly finishing after being set up by Ajibade to make it 3-0.
